So, what exactly does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you journey through *Heresy*, you'll encounter an array of new and returning weapons, but it's the Curio of the Nine that's capturing the attention of many players. This enigmatic item, described as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," ties directly into the lore surrounding the Nine, the mysterious entities that govern Unknown Space. However, the item's purpose remains shrouded in mystery, with its description stating, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

This lack of clarity is sparking discussions and theories among the community. While it's a thrilling puzzle for lore enthusiasts eager to unravel the mysteries of *Destiny 2*, it can be a bit frustrating for players who prefer a tidy inventory and a focus on gameplay without additional enigmas.

Like other items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine once it's in your possession. However, be warned: "While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded," the item's description cautions. Given the ominous nature of the Nine in *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's advisable to hold onto this item, at least until the *Heresy* Episode concludes.
